So far Lars is not interested in this option and I'm not eager to run
yet another web site.  I haven't heard from Reiner Steib in ages so I
don't know his position.  

IMO it's best to set up an automatic publisher of the www.gnus.org and
git.gnus.org sites straight from Git (which is why I set up the www/
directory).  That will work regardless of who is the web site maintainer
and will take the publishing burden off that person.  Git is much better
than CVS or SVN for keeping a web site, so we can simply set up a
"for-web-publish" branch and commit into it when a www/ change is ready
to go live.
